WinML is a high-performance, reliable API for deploying hardware-accelerated ML (Machine Learning) inferences on Windows devices. Since its introduction, many developers started using this technology to develop UWP applications that leverage artificial intelligence. Throughout this blog post, we’ll understand how you can leverage WinML on a simple .NET5 Console app. 

Since we shipped .NET Standard 2.0 about a year ago, we’ve shipped two updates to .NET Core 2.1 and are about to release .NET Core 2.2. It’s time to update the standard to include some of the new concepts as well as a number of small improvements

Features:

• Animated matrix dots
• High-res and low-res digit font
• Count down towards a date
• Count up since a date
• Define Countdown Schedules
• Responsive and Mobile Friendly
• Fast and Beautifully Animations
• Works on all Major Browser
• JavaScript and jQuery API

Works standalone but ships with handy wrapper for jQuery.

By default RavenDB allow anonymous access only for read requests (HTTP GET), 
and since we creating data, we need to specify a username and password. 
You can control this by changing the AnonymousAccess setting in the server configuration file.
Enter your username and password of your Windows account and a sample data will be generated for you.
